The Indiana National Suffrage Association.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
The executive board of the Indiana National
Suffrage Association met in Indianapolis Mon
day, Dec. 10, with all the mem bers present. The
meeting was called order by the chairman,
May Wright Sewall, and the report of the thir-
teen Congressional convent ons held in the State
during the month of November was submitted
by the president Helen NJ. Cougar. The follow
ing suggestive points taken from that report will
indicate the character and scope of the work
done by the Indiana association in month.
The number of paid memberships secured for
the association is 242. and $75 tho per cent.
due to the National association was forwarded
to Washington to the national treasurer, Jane
II. Spofford The total income for the month
in fees collections and donations was 1890. The
whole expense of the thirteen conventions was
$780, leaving balance in the treasury which
enables the Indiana association to Immediately
proceed with the plan of work adopted.
Every district il the State will be thoroughly
and systematically organized. and suffrage clubs
will be formed In every county -seat and also in
other towns in the district. Three pamphlets
will be issued at The first. by the official
boards stating the duties of the State, district
and county officers and the relation which each
club holds to the State and national oganizaton.
The second document will be prepared by Mrs.
Sewall. chairman of the executive committee,
and will contain a complete plan of work for
1859, the methods to be adopted for obtaining
a sixteenth amendment from Congress and for
securing municipal suffrage from the Indiana
Legislature. Also will be found in this lea1et
suggestions to the line of study and reading
to be taken up by these various clu bs during the
year. The third paper will be written by Mrs
Cougar president of the Indiana Association,
and will give in detail, supported by statistics,
the practical working of municipal suffrage in
Kansas, the only State where it has been
tried. AS soon as issued these three documents
will be sent to all the members of the suffrage
associations IN the State.
During these conventions nearly 250 subscrib-
were obtained for the Woman's Tribune, ard
the number is daily increasing. The roster of
names shows that those who became mem bers
of the association are among the best people in
the various communities judged bv the stand
ard of intellect, wealth and social standing. The
fact that in one short month nearly $1,000 have
been raised and expsn ded in the cause of woman
suffrage shows the vital interest that is felt in
this movement The advocates of this question
have been united and strengthened, and hun
drsds of converts have been made. The pros
poets of success are very encouraging, and the
work will be carried forward with vlgor and per-
sistence until after the session OF the next Leg
islature.
a vote of thanks extended to the Indian
apolis Journal for its full reports of the thirteen
conventions and the hops EXPRESSED that IN the
near future this newspaper will see the wisdom
